"Not only is this album incredibly diverse, but the depth of the material is really strong,” Delson says.Delson is particularly high on "The Little Things Give You Away," which he says is "the song of which I'm probably most proud that we've ever done." Another cut, "Bleed It Out," sports "Motown drums, almost '80s rock guitar, rapping and an early hip-hop influence in terms of how it was recorded. I think it will be really fun to play live," he says."Minutes to Midnight" will also include a track with two current working titles ("When My Time Comes" or "Leave Out All the Rest") that Delson describes as "a really moody, almost electronic-based song. Lyrically, I can definitively say this is our strongest record, and in particular, this song I really connect to personally. I think it's a really touching song."The new album was co-produced by group member Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin. "He can hear a rough idea, then point you in a direction like, 'Check out this score by Ennio Morricone,'" Delson says of Rubin.

He took interest in music at a young age, citing Depeche Mode and Stone Temple Pilots as early inspirations. Bennington's parents separated in the late 1980s, while he was still a child. He was sexually abused during his youth, and later struggled with cocaine and methamphetamine addictions. Bennington eventually overcame his drug addiction, and would go on to denounce drug use in future interviews. He worked at a Burger King restaurant before starting his career as a professional musician.<br />Professional career<br />Before joining Linkin Park, Bennington was a vocalist in Grey Daze, a now defunct grunge band from Phoenix, Arizona. He left Grey Daze in 1998, but struggled to find another band to play in. After nearly quitting his musical career altogether, Jeff Blue, then the vice president of A&R at Zomba Music in Los Angeles, offered Bennington an audition with Linkin Park. Bennington quit his day job, and took his family to California, where he had a successful audition with Linkin Park, who were then called “Hybrid Theory”. Bennington and Mike Shinoda, the band’s other vocalist, made significant progress together, but failed to find a record deal. After facing numerous rejections, Jeff Blue, now a vice president of A&amp;R at Warner Bros., intervened again to help the band sign with Warner Bros. Records.</div><br /><div>Despite having prodigious success in the early 2000s, Bennington has had personal problems outside of the limelight. He suffered a severe spider bite while touring with the OzzFest in 2001, which caused his arm to swell. Bennington was plagued with poor health during the making of Meteora, and struggled to attend some of the album’s record sessions He fell ill during the summer of 2003, and eventually underwent surgery Bennington’s relationship with his first wife, Samantha, also declined during his years with Linkin Park, leading to their divorce in 2005<br /><strong><span style="color:#3366ff;">Personal life</span></strong><br />Bennington married his first wife, Samantha, on October 31, 1996. They had one child, named Draven Sebastian, who was born on April 19, 2002. After his divorcing his first wife, Bennington married Talinda Bentley, a former Playboy model, whom he has since had a child with, named Tyler Lee. Bennington made a cameo in the film Crank. He lives with them in a 6,000-square-foot house in Orange County when he is not on tour. He is also an avid tattoo enthusiast. In addition to sporting many tattoos and piercings all over his body, he has done work with Club Tattoo, a tattoo parlor in Tempe, Arizona. The parlor has received recognition from many magazines such as, College Affair and Skateboard Mag, while also spawning an art show in New York City.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>ROB BOURDON</strong></span></div></div><br /><div></div><a href="http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/4348/robbourdonay8.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 206px; CURSOR: hand" height="222" alt="" src="http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/4348/robbourdonay8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Rob was born in Calabasas, California and now lives in Los Angeles. He grew up in the same town as the members of Incubus.<br />Rob started to play the drums at age ten after seeing an Aerosmith concert. His mother was the girlfriend of Joey Kramer, Aerosmith's drummer, so Bourdon was able to go backstage and see the entire production and Kramer also gave him a kick pedal. In his early teen years, Bourdon played in bands with his friends. It was around that time that he met his current Linkin Park bandmate, Brad Delson, and they played together for about a year in a band called Relative Degree. Their goal was to play at the Roxy Theatre, and, after achieving their goal with a sell-out show, Relative Degree eventually broke up.<br />Bourdon wears Puma racecar driving shoes to get a better feel for the drum pedals and he says that it gives him a much better control of the pedals. He is said to be somewhat of a perfectionist. Rob's hobbies include playing the piano (although he has never done so for a Linkin Park recording) and surfing.<br />He also said that the song 'Easier to Run' was the most difficult to play as he had to approach the drums very differently.<br />It is said that Linkin Park's upcoming third studio album will make use of standard wooden drums in addition/comparison to triggers which were used in the previous albums. Photos of the drum machines to be used for the record have surfaced via Joe Hahn's personal SlamXHype blog.<br />Rob is considered by many fans to be one of the member that has changed his sound the most for Minutes To Midnight. The variety of drum sounds in the album is greatly commented upon by fans.<br />In late 2006, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park said on Tattoo Stories that his bandmates Rob and Brad didn't have any tattoos for religious reasons. Both are actively of the Jewish faith.<br />He once dated actress Shiri Appleby.<br />He has dated actress Vanessa Lee Evigan since 2001.<br />His 25th birthday was featured on an episode of iTunes' LPTV. On January 20, 2004, Linkin Park played a show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the band can be seen joking around backstage and saying that it is Rob's twentieth birthday. This caused some confusion among viewers.<br />Rob's favorite song to play is In The End.<br />Equipment:<br />Drums (Gretsch Projekt Revolution kit):14X5 Snare Drum22X16 Bass Drum18X16 Floor Tom16X13 Floor Tom10X8 High-Tom12X10 Mid-Tom<br />Cymbals (Zildjian):14" A-New Beat hi-hats14" A-Custom Mastersound hi-hats [Changes between hi hats live]18" A-Custom Projection Crash10" A-Custom Splash19" A-Custom Projection Crash21" A-Custom Projection Ride20" Oriental China "Trash"14" ZXT Trashformer<br />Others:<br />Electronics: Pintech Pads(to the left of hi-hats)<br />Hardware: Gibraltar cage/drum supports<br />Heads: Various Remo Heads<br />Sticks: Vater 5B (Hickory with wood tip)<br />Footwear: Puma racing shoes<br />Recording Software: Pro Tools</div><div></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>BRAD DELSON</strong></span></div><br /><div><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 252px; CURSOR: hand" height="170" alt="" src="http://www.linkinparkcn.com/UpLoadFiles/Photos/2007-5/2007051613581348208.jpg" border="0" />Delson graduated from Agoura High School in 1995 and formed Xero with Mike Shinoda, which would later become Linkin Park. He graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in communications, but decided to forgo law school to pursue a career with Linkin Park.<br />While in college, (he shared a college room with Dave Farrell) Delson had to intern with a member of the music industry as a part of his career. He ended up working for Jeff Blue, an A&R representative at Warner Bros. Records. He told Blue about his band and in return for giving him demos to listen to he was offered constructive criticism. Blue is the man who found Linkin Park's current lead vocalist, Chester Bennington.<br /><br />Before forming Xero with Mark Wakefield, Delson's first instrument was the trumpet. His first band was called the Pricks, and he later played in a band called Relative Degree with his fellow Linkin Park bandmate Rob Bourdon. He met and roomed with bandmate Dave Farrell, better known as Phoenix, at UCLA.<br />Delson can usually be seen wearing a very large pair of headphones on stage. The headphones are designed by Shinoda and himself and change with every Linkin Park release. Delson has eluded to an exact reason for them, but he has admitted it channels him into his own personal "matrix" while performing. He won't divulge to what this "matrix" is in detail. Delson usually does not give a serious answer as to why he wears the headphones, with answers such as "If I tell you, I'll have to kill you." In a recent interview, Mike Shinoda said that Brad wears shooting range headphones for hearing protection. Then he gives them to Mike who then makes sticker designs which go on them.<br />Delson has been known for his anti-social behavior on occasions. In high school, he used to dye his hair a variety of colors and in earlier days of the band he generally kept it shaved. Recently, Delson has been seen sporting an afro, which is also seen on the front cover for Minutes to Midnight.<br /><br />Philanthropy<br />In 2005, Brad signed on as an official supporter of Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit organization that provides free musical instruments and free lessons to children in public schools throughout the United States. Brad has personally delivered instruments to children in the program and sits on the organization's board of directors as an honorary member.<br /><br />Guitar playing style<br />He has been criticized for playing simple guitar parts and never performing solos. He has been lieing by saying that he "doesn't like to show off," giving reason to the fact soloing is a rare act for him. He has explained that this is due to the nature of the band, and that he tries to make his guitar playing sound like a keyboard or strings to try to fit in with the hip hop and electronic sounds of the band.<br />In the summer of 2006, Linkin Park performed at the Summer Sonic Festival hosted by Metallica. It was there that the band debuted a new song called QWERTY in which Delson stunned fans by deftly playing the heaviest riff the band has ever written. Another song that has a heavy riff is called A.06. It is not on any albums but is on LPU2. In the more synth-rock driven album, Minutes to Midnight, there are more complex guitar parts and solos by Delson. The fastest is in the song, "In Pieces", and another is a one-minute-long solo in "The Little Things Give You Away". Now, whenever Linkin Park performs Faint live, there is an extended version with Brad playing another fast guitar solo.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>DAVID MICHAEL FARRELL</strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 225px; CURSOR: hand" height="375" alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/Dave_phoenix_farrell.jpg/400px-Dave_phoenix_farrell.jpg" border="0" /></strong></span></div><br /><div>David Michael Farrell (born on February 8, 1977), more commonly known as Phoenix, is the bassist for the alternative rock band Linkin Park.<br />Farrell was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts but later moved to Mission Viejo, California when he was five. He attended Mission Viejo High School. He also graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1999 . He is adept at playing the bass guitar, electric guitar, cello and violin.

While attending college, he would practice with Brad Delson in their dorm room together. However, because he had to play and tour with the Tasty Snax, he could not play with Delson and his band, which would become Linkin Park. After changing their name to Snax, Farrell began playing bass guitar in the band before leaving once again to join Linkin Park full-time to play bass. Farrell's fellow band mate Mark Fiore became Linkin Park's videographer. As described in the inlay for Reanimation he uses an Ernie Ball MusicMan Bass.<br />Farrell has cited his influences as being his mother and his brother, Joe, as well as Weezer, The Beatles, the Deftones, The Roots, Bob Marley, Sarah McLachlan, Hughes & Wagner and Harrod &amp; Funck.<br />Fitting to his nickname, Phoenix, he has two phoenix tattoos on his back.<br />On the 'Making of Minutes to Midnight' Dave Farrell is seen using Fender Precision Basses.<br />Phoenix is rumored to be dabbling in the culinary arts.

It was during this period that he added the guitar and, eventually, rap-style vocals to his repertoire. </span><span style="color:#000000;">After his teens, Mike Shinoda's rap interests found a source of encouragement in friend </span><span style="color:#000000;">Brad Delson</span><span style="color:#000000;">, with whom he started to write and record songs in a makeshift studio set up in his bedroom.

Shinoda eventually graduated from college with a degree in illustration, securing himself a job as a </span><span style="color:#000000;">graphic designer</span><span style="color:#000000;"> right after graduation.</span><span style="color:#000000;"> With his background as a </span><span style="color:#000000;">graphic artist</span><span style="color:#000000;">, Shinoda has taken it upon himself in designing all of Linkin Park's artwork with Hahn, and has even designed the album cover for </span><span style="color:#000000;">Styles of Beyond</span><span style="color:#000000;">'s debut album, </span><span style="color:#000000;">2000 Fold</span><span style="color:#000000;">.

Only one six-track </span><span style="color:#000000;">EP</span><span style="color:#000000;"> would be released under the new name before legal issues forced them once again to change it - and thus it came to pass that Shinoda and his bandmates were to call themselves "</span><span style="color:#000000;">Lincoln Park</span><span style="color:#000000;">". However, the domain name lincolnpark.com was already taken, so it was ultimately changed to </span><span style="color:#000000;">Linkin Park</span><span style="color:#000000;">.<br />Throughout 1999, </span><span style="color:#000000;">Linkin Park</span><span style="color:#000000;"> continued to expand their following amongst </span><span style="color:#000000;">L.A.</span><span style="color:#000000;"> club patrons.

They formed in 1996, and have since sold more than fifty million albums and won two Grammies.They first achieved mainstream success in 2000 with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which has since been certified Diamond by RIAA. The band’s following studio album, Meteora, also garnered success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world.<br />Linkin Park is recognized for adapting the nu metal genre into a radio-friendly style, creating many successful singles, such as "In the End", "Crawling", "Numb", and "What I've Done", which were number one singles in several countries. They are also known for their several collaborations, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mash-up album Collision Course, and a plethora of other artists on Reanimation.The band’s latest album, Minutes to Midnight, which was released in May 2007, has stemmed away from their previous nu metal sound venturing into various other genres. The album topped the Billboard Charts by selling nearly 625,000 copies in its debut week, making it the best debut week of any album for the year.</p><br /><p><span style="font-size:180%;color:#3366ff;">BAND HISTORY</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#33cc00;">Early years (1996-2000)</span></p><br /><p>Originally consisting of three close <a title="High school" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_school">high school</a> friends from <a title="Agoura High School" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoura_High_School">Agoura High School</a>, Linkin Park’s foundation was anchored by <a title="Mike Shinoda" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Shinoda">Mike Shinoda</a>, <a title="Brad Delson" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Delson">Brad Delson</a>, and <a title="Rob Bourdon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bourdon">Rob Bourdon</a>.<a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkin_Park#_note-Ask-Bio">[10]</a> After graduating from high school, the <a title="California" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California">California</a> natives later began to take their musical interests more seriously, recruiting <a title="Joe Hahn" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hahn">Joe Hahn</a>, <a title="Dave Farrell" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Farrell">Dave "Phoenix" Farrell</a>, and <a title="Mark Wakefield" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wakefield">Mark Wakefield</a> to perform in their band, then titled <a title="Xero (rock band)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xero_%28rock_band%29">Xero</a>. Though limited in resources, the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda’s make-shift bedroom studio in 1996. Tensions and frustration within the band began to increase after the band failed to land a record deal. The lack of success and stalemate in progress prompted Wakefield, at that time the band’s <a title="Vocalist" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocalist">vocalist</a>, to leave the band in search for other projects. Later, Farrell would also leave the band in order to tour with <a title="Tasty Snax" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasty_Snax">Tasty Snax</a> and other bands.<br />After spending a considerable time searching for Wakefield’s surrogate, Xero recruited <a title="Arizona" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona">Arizona</a> vocalist <a title="Chester Bennington" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Bennington">Chester Bennington</a>. Jeff Blue, the vice president of Zomba Music, referred Bennington to the band in March of 1999. Bennington, formerly of <a title="Grey Daze" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Daze">Grey Daze</a>, became a standout among applicants for his unique and vivid singing style. The newborn chemistry between Shinoda and Bennington helped revive the band, inciting them to work on new material. The band’s <a title="Renaissance" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance">renaissance</a> culminated with a change in name; from Hybrid Theory, the band changed their name to Linkin Park, a play on and homage to <a title="Santa Monica, CA" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Monica%2C_CA">Santa Monica</a>’s Lincoln Park. However, despite these changes, the band still struggled to sign a record deal. After facing numerous rejections from several major <a title="Record labels" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_labels">record labels</a>, Linkin Park turned to Jeff Blue for additional help. After failing to catch <a title="Warner Bros. Records" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records">Warner Bros. Records</a> on three previous reviews, Jeff Blue, now the vice president of Warner Bros. Records, helped the band sign a deal with the company in 1999. Now aside with Warner Bros. Records, the band released their breakthrough album, <a title="Hybrid Theory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Theory">Hybrid Theory</a>, the following year.</p><br /><p><span style="color:#33cc00;">Breakthrough: Hybrid Theory (2000-2002)</span></p><br /><p>Linkin Park released Hybrid Theory on <a title="October 24" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_24">October 24</a>, <a title="2000" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000">2000</a>.

Hybrid Theory was well received by music fans; the band sold more than 4.8 million records during its debut year, earning it the status of best-selling album of 2001, while singles such as <a title="Crawling (song)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawling_%28song%29">Crawling</a> and <a title="One Step Closer (Linkin Park song)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Step_Closer_%28Linkin_Park_song%29">One Step Closer</a> established themselves as staples among <a title="Alternative Rock" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_Rock">Alternative Rock</a> radio playlists during the year. Additionally, other singles from the album were featured in movies such as <a title="Dracula 2000" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_2000">Dracula 2000</a>, <a title="Little Nicky" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Nicky">Little Nicky</a>, and <a title="Valentine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine">Valentine</a>. Hybrid Theory was also nominated for three <a title="Grammy Award" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award">Grammy Awards</a>, including best new artist, best rock album, and best hard rock performance (for Crawling). <a title="MTV" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV">MTV</a> also awarded the band their Best Rock Video and Best Direction awards for <a title="In the End" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_End">In the End</a>. Through the winning of the Grammy for best hard rock performance, and for Best Rock Album, Hybrid Theory’s overall success had catapulted the band into the <a title="Mainstream" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream">mainstream</a>'s attention.<br />During this time, Linkin Park received many invitations to perform on many recognized tours and concerts including <a title="Ozzfest" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozzfest">Ozzfest</a>, <a title="Family Values Tour" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Values_Tour">Family Values Tour</a> and <a title="KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KROQ_Almost_Acoustic_Christmas">KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas</a>.

The band began to work on new material amidst the saturated schedule, spending a sliver of their free time in their tour bus' studio. The band officially announced the production of a new studio album in December 2002, revealing their new work was inspired by the rocky region of <a title="Meteora" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteora">Meteora</a> in <a title="Greece" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece">Greece</a>, where a lot of <a title="Monastery" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monastery">monasteries</a> have been built on top of the rocks. <a title="Meteora (album)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteora_%28album%29">Meteora</a> featured a mixture of the band's previous <a title="Nu metal" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_metal">nu metal</a> and <a title="Rapcore" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapcore">rapcore</a> styles with newer innovative effects, including the induction of a <a title="Shakuhachi" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakuhachi">shakuhachi</a> (a <a title="Music of Japan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Japan">Japanese</a> flute made of bamboo) and other instruments. <a title="Eponymous" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eponymous">Eponymous</a> to <a title="Meteora" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteora">Meteora</a>, the Linkin Park's second album debuted on <a title="March 25" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_25">March 25</a>, <a title="2003" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003">2003</a> and instantly earned worldwide recognition.

Eventually, Meteora sold nearly three million copies by October 2003.

Although Meteora was not nearly as successful as Hybrid Theory, it was the third best selling album in America during 2003. The band spent the first few months of 2004 touring around the world, first with the third Projekt Revolution tour, and later several <a title="European" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European">European</a> concerts.</p><br /><p><span style="color:#33cc00;">Side projects and charity work (2004-2006)</span></p><br /><p>Following Meteora's success, the band postponed working on a new studio album for the next several years. Instead, Linkin Park continued to tour and work on many side projects. Bennington appeared on <a title="DJ Lethal" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Lethal">DJ Lethal</a>’s State of the Art and other work with <a title="Dead By Sunrise" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_By_Sunrise">Dead By Sunrise</a>, while Shinoda did work with <a title="Depeche Mode" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode">Depeche Mode</a>.<a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkin_Park#_note-RockD">[11]</a> In 2004, the band began to work with <a title="Jay-Z" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z">Jay-Z</a> to produce another remix album, entitled <a title="Collision Course (album)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_Course_%28album%29">Collision Course</a>. The album, which featured intermixed lyrics and background tracks from both artists' backgrounds, debuted in November 2004. Shinoda also formed a new band, <a title="Fort Minor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Minor">Fort Minor</a>, as a side project. With the aid of Jay-Z, Fort Minor released their debut album, <a title="The Rising Tied" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rising_Tied">The Rising Tied</a>, to critical acclaim. On the home front, the band's relationship with <a title="Warner Bros. Records" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records">Warner Bros. Records</a> was declining rapidly on account of several trust and financial issues. After months of feuding, the band finally negotiated a deal in December 2005. Additionally, they also participated in numerous charitable events. Linkin Park helped raise money to benefit victims of <a title="Hurricane Charley" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Charley">Hurricane Charley</a> in 2004 and later <a title="Hurricane Katrina" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina">Hurricane Katrina</a> in 2005. They also helped relief efforts for the <a title="2004 Tsunami" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Tsunami">2004 Tsunami</a> victims by staging several charity concerts and setting up an additional fund called "Music for Relief". Most notably, however, the band participated at <a title="Live 8" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_8">Live 8</a>, a series of charitable benefit concerts set up to raise global awareness. Alongside Jay-Z, the band performed on Live 8's stage in <a title="Philadelphia, Pennsylvania" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania">Philadelphia, Pennsylvania</a>, to a global audience.

Despite initially stating the album would debut sometime in 2006, the album was pushed off to 2007. The band had recorded thirty to fifty songs in August of 2006, when Shinoda stated the album was halfway completed. Bennington later added that the new album would stray away from their previous nu metal sound. <a title="Warner Bros. Records" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records">Warner Bros.

None of it’s real<br />You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill<br />Who can rock a rhyme like this?<br />Bring it to you every time like this?<br />Who can rock a rhyme like this?<br />Step, step up, step, step up<br />So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity<br />But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy<br />With a tendency to make up stories<br />Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40<br />And your record company is completely missing it<br />All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate<br />So in a battle you can't hack it<br />React with whack shit<br />And get smacked with verbal back flips<br />Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts<br />It's taken decades for emcees to establish this<br />You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious<br />But not on the mic<br />Leave that to the experienced<br />(Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponents, leaving him<br />vulnerable to attack)<br />[Chorus (2x)]<br />(After years of pain staking research by the world's leading sound scientists, we<br />here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system.
